Daily Practice

The first and foremost thing is to realise the importance of something you are starting anew. For daily meditation, you need to mentally and emotionally accept and be patient enough to go through the ups and downs that would occur initially. Start with 15 minutes a day and that would be a time when you ‘meet yourself’.

Start your day with Meditation

Begin your day with silence and calmness and make the rest of the day turn out be really energetic. This way, you can easily get into thoughtlessness and feel the change in your body and mind if you can wake up early and meditate for 5-10 minutes, at least.

Choose a restful spot

You need to make sure you have some peace and quiet around you when you first begin meditation. This is critical to your success. Eventually, you may even master meditation in noisy places. While a noisy, meditating environment may not be ideal, having this skill can truly help you cope with stressful or sensory overload situations.

Make the area pleasant

A scented candle, a bouquet of flowers, a incense or something else that pleases you, can provide little touches that enhance your first meditation.

Open up

Open yourself up during meditation. Open your mind, soul and body so that they can receive the energy of meditation. Let your body feel connected through your entire being as you keep your palms wide open.

Be forgiving

Enhance your power to forgive from within. There may be a lot of thoughts which come to your mind and all you need to think and say is that you forgive; you forgive people, circumstances, situations and problems which you might have gone through. Thus, forgive yourself first.

Meditation with objects

Initially, you may have to take the help of objects or music to make your concentration better. It is not easy to jump into a state where you would just close your eyes and have deep thoughts, which happen at the higher levels. So, get a candle flame on which you focus your eyes and meditate.

Let go

Meditation is not just about concentrating on something or maintaining your focus, or even about visualising or trying to stop your thoughts. There would be a lot of thoughts which would pile up during meditation and all you need to do is let go. You let go as you surrender to your inner peace and calmness.

Stop thinking about your thoughts

You will, initially, experience a lot of distraction as your try to concentrate. You will be thinking about memories from the past and worries about the future. But that's natural. What you need to do is try and gain back your concentration, by eliminating those distracting ideas. There will come a time when you feel that the time is still. Then, you let your thoughts expand to a situation where you don’t have them anymore.

Meditate with other people

You will do better when you are around other people while meditating. When you see more and more candles getting lit up, you will have more light in the room. When you have people around you, be sure that you are doing it right. You will be able to absorb more of the energy and your meditation will be more effective.
